Calculate contact pressure under footings: q = P/A (concentric), q = P/A ± M·c/I (eccentric). Kern of footing: e < B/6 to prevent tension. Compare to allowable bearing capacity from soil investigation.
2D stress state at a point. All stresses in MPa.

Each component has a specific meaning:
Note: Interpret the footing bearing result against the clinical thresholds and context described above.
Enter the soil investigation for the patient or scenario you are assessing. Calculate contact pressure under footings: q = P/A (concentric), q = P/A ± M·c/I (eccentric). Kern of footing: e < B/6 to prevent tension. Compare to allowable bearing capacity from soil investigation. Use the footing bearing result to inform your clinical assessment.
